    I hope this fights not close and Hopkins hurts Winky in the ring. Maybe Hopkins can beat the living crap out of Winky so bad that he makes Winky quit in the corner or better yet on the canvas

        Rating the fighters
        Comparison of Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wright on a rating of 1 to 10 in several categories:

        CATEGORY HOPKINS WRIGHT IOLE’S SKINNY
        Punching power 7 7 Neither is a one-punch KO artist.
        Jab 9 10 Ask Tito Trinidad about Wright’s jab.
        Body attack 10 8 Hopkins is a master at going low, both legally and illegally.
        Speed and
        quickness 6 7 Both have seen better days in this area.
        Defense 9 10 If this were an NFL game, it would be like the Ravens vs. the Patriots.
        Chin 10 10 Neither hits hard enough with one punch to seriously hurt the other.
        Stamina 9 9 Hopkins' remade body makes him more like 32 than 42.
        Ring smarts 10 10 They, along with Floyd Mayweather Jr., are the three smartest active fighters.
        Corner 10 10 Minute edge, since he's worked with Dan Birmingham his entire career. This is Freddie Roach's first fight with Hopkins.
        Intangibles 9 10 Hopkins made his statement against Antonio Tarver; this is Wright's chance to make one against Hopkins.

        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Total 89 91 This fight will showcase technical boxing at its highest level. Hopkins is the naturally bigger fighter, but Wright might be slightly better technically. Look for Wright to win a decision in a taut fight that could be filled with controversy.
        I cannot agree with this chart.
